Replace? Or just put in rear? I do use the vehicle for highways

No question replace. I would never want a vehicle with a tire like that coming down the road at me, let alone the risks to you.

Roger that. No issues there.

Your chain would normally sit on top of a rubber insert that sits in the spare tire lug countersink holes. That must be missing?

No such rubber insert. Do you have a part number?

Edit: or a picture of the insert on your spare?

For earlier model guys.. didn't come with 08-15.. guessing this is to protect the smaller hub center opening of the later model wheels. Also quite expensive for what it is.

Punch a hole all the way through it, then you won’t have to make a decision….

Ah this is the rubber guard that goes in the center hole of the rim? Yes, I have that.

I suppose I could get the chain to sit on top of the wheel/rubber if I jammed it back up there.

I'm going to let it dangle and if it really annoys me I'll zip tie it.

If you can see the belt, replace it.

Ok, got KO3. This thing is quiet (than KO2) which is great.

Question, is the "certificate" from Discount tire worth it? Things do happen on trails
